THE COST OF CARE - HOW DO CARE HOMES CHARGE SO MUCH ?

It is about time that the General Public gets to know why it costs some £50,000 per year to stay in a Care Home.
Has anyone seen the Financial Accounts of Care Homes ?
Does the Government know the breakdown of costs and profits ?

Consider this scenario.......

Care Home x has some 20 or more people in the care home.
Most own homes so they pay £50,000 per year.
The Local authority pays for 5 people.
So, 15 people pay £750,000 for their care in a year.
The other 5 pay via the Local Authority £250,000.
Total revenuer is £1,000,000.

What do the residents get for this money ?

They get a small room with bed.
They get on average 3 meals per day that does not cost much.
They have access to a Common Room with television.
In this Day Room there are patients with Memory loss staring into space. A very depressing atmosphere  for the other patients.

The Care Home has overhead costs - how much ?
The Care Home pays for the upkeep of the Care Home.
The Care Home pays for the wages of the Carers - mostly untrained.
Is the Care Home making a fair profit ?

Some thoughts to be verified .......

Does the Care Home pay VAT on anything ? If they do, the Government should make them VAT free.
Carers should be TAX Free.
This may help reduce costs.

No one should have to pay towards their Care in old age. I prefer the early NHS slogan -- Care From Cradle to the Grave.
The Government created some £400 Billions to save the Banks during the Financial Crisis which most British People did nothing towards the crisis.
Government should create some more money to subsidise Care Costs in old age.
We subsidise the Young with Free Schooling costs. Why not do the same for Pensioners who have paid taxes for 40 - 60 years in their Lifespan ?

I wish the Government should radically change their  attitude to Care Home Costs.
They need to change policy for taxation of Care Homes.
They need to check operating costs and profitability.
They need to be radical and futuristic.
They need to help the Care Homes and The Carers.

The Government promised to put a ceiling on total care costs of £72,000.
This promise has been postponed. What a disgrace.

Most of all, they should remove the fear from the Pensioners about this dreadful charge on their Care.
They cannot help being ill.
Let us treat them with kindness.

DEALING WITH GRIEF

DEALING WITH GRIEF

I have had my fair share of GRIEF.

My Father died when I was 6.
My Wife died when I was 43.
My son died when I was 62.
My Mother died when I was 68.

We all treat grief in our own special way. For some people, they never recover from grieving. They spend the rest of their lives in a vegetable state of Grief. What a pity !

Here is my motto about dealing with Grief -

“ It is natural for one to Grieve BUT do not let Grief swallow you up in a sea of Sorrow. “

In other words, remember that your loved one would not want you to live the rest of your life grieving. Do not let Grief destroy you or your Family.

Remember the past but look to the future.

REMOVAL OF FREE TV LICENCES.

We need some answers.......

Is it right that the BBC can force people to watch BBC TV Programmes by paying the Annual TV Licence to help fund BBC Programmes ?

Is it right that the BBC can deny the Viewer the right to watch ITV, SKY and other Programmes if they do not pay the BBC Annual TV Licence ?

Is the BBC breaking Competition Laws by Restrictive Practices ?

Is the Government right to remove the BBC subsidy to pay for Free TV Licence for the 75 years plus Pensioners who are not already on Pensions credits ?

Is it time for the BBC to have limited TV Advertising to pay for the very high salaries for the BBC Staff and Performers ?

Let us get a new Review of the BBC New Prime Minister.

In the meantime, Government, Stop the BBC from withdrawing the Free TV Licence from 75 plus Pensioners in 2020. If you do not do this, you will loose the Votes of Millions of Pensioners and their Families. This will put the Final Nail in the Conservative Party in Power.
I am a Lifetime supporter of The Conservative Party. I do not wish the Party to lose a General Election.

CONGRATULATIONS BORIS

Well done Boris - New Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Now - get us out of the EU and start making the lives of ALL British Citizens better.

Good luck and remember that whatever you do, you will not please everyone - remember the Remainers want PROSPERITY as well and the Leavers.

And.......Get your hair cut !

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT BLUNDER

The Government have decided to take away its subsidy to he BBC for Free Licences for over 75s year old Pensioners.
The BBC have decided to take away Free Licences for the over 75 years old Pensioners except those who receive subsidies.
What a terrible decision.

I am one of the Pensioners who will be affected.

Now, next year I do not want to view BBC Programmes.
I want my human right of FREE Choice.
I have ITV and SKY.

I do not want to be forced to view the BBC, who pay £Millions to some Performers. When they pay many salaries over £200,000 and who lavishly pay £ Millions on expenses.
Who screen lots of boring shows - Games Shows every afternoon.

Pensioners Unite !

Stop watching BBC. Enjoy seeing BBC ratings fall.

Write to your local MP and complain

Threaten to not vote Conservative in the nest election. Farage and Pensioners will defeat the Conservatives.

Write to the Press.

March for the Pensioners up and down the Country.

Good luck to every decent Pensioner, who most are still paying National Taxes out of their  Company Pensions and some paying over £2,000 per annum in local taxes.

CHANGE THIS DISGRACEFUL DECISION.

BREXIT THE NEXT STEP

BREXIT THE NEXT PROPOSAL

For the past 3 years since the 2016 Referendum, the UK have been outwitted by the EU. The endless meetings and false promises have resulted in no deal so far.
Why is this ? Because the UK and EU have been discussing the wrong  Agenda the wrong way round with the wrong priorities. They should have agreed a mutually acceptable Trade Deal first followed by the other topics.

For 3 years, the two sides have not agreed a Trade Deal.

Here is my next step Proposal -

Temporary withdraw Article 50 until such time that the EU agree a new Trade Deal which will ensure prosperity for both sides.

In a future Free Trade Deal The UK will make its own deals with the world but the UK will adopt EU conditions for Trade between the UK and EU - The European Trading Area ( ETA ).

Article 50 will be reinstated once the whole package has been agreed. A time limit of 1 year to reach agreement.

Once this Trade Deal has been agreed, all the other deals in Part 1 - The May Deal - except no need for an Irish Backstop will be included in the Final Withdrawal Agreement.

Brexit Party to be involved in negotiations.

We cannot go around in circles. There must be a consensus approach for the future.

If this new approach fails, a General Election looms.

DIRTY TRICKS POLITICS 2019

DIRTY TRICK POLITICS 2019

The attempt announced today 29 May 2019 to have a Court of Law to convict Boris Johnson of a criminal act by misleading the Public with the Leavers Bus Promotion during the 2016 Referendum Campaign stating smells of DIRTY TRICKS POLITICS.
The Campaign Bus States.....

“ We pay£350 Million per week to the EU
Let us fund our NHS instead.”

This is correct. Once we leave the EU, the UK will pay £350 Million per week into the NHS.

No say the opposition Remainers - We get a rebate and the EU also fund certain projects in the UK. This is not £350 Millions per week. This is the basis of the criminal charge against Boris Johnson ! A clear attempt to stop Boris from becoming Prime Minister.

But, the Leavers PR Campaign was not claiming this.
It was stating clearly and boldly, We will pay into the NHS....
£350 Millions per week if we leave the EU. Yes, the money which we will no longer be paid to the EU, will be topped up to £350 Millions per week, out of the UK Annual Budget. A wonderful commitment of the Conservative by the Conservative Government.
The slogan was designed to make people stop and think.
It did just that.
Yes, rather than pay into the EU, prioritise that money for the NHS and Yes, top the budget up to £350 Millions per week.
Everyone knows that the NHS needs more money to pay for a First Class Service of the future.

By stating the £350 Millions per week into the EU Budget before rebates, it is making the point that it is better to use monies paid into the EU budget on our NHS.
Most sane people would agree with this.

During the Referendum in 2016, this topic was debated endlessly on TV, Radio, Meetings, Parliament. Why didn’t anyone try to sue Boris Johnson back in 2016 ? I wonder !

Is it not a coincidence that this question of a criminal charge against Boris Johnson should appear, after 3 years, just prior to the Election of a new Conservative Prime Minister and who is a Leaver, a Brexiteer ?
Boris was not the only one promoting the Bus Theme.
What about the millions of people throughout the UK echoing this theme. What about all the other Politicians in Parliament.
Are they quilty as well l ? NO NO NO.

We, the ordinary voters are in the midst of Dirty Tricks Politics.
Similar mud slinging in the USA as well.
Who do you believe any more ?

I sincerely hope that Boris wins his Court Battle.
If he should lose, the next dirty tricks step, will be an appeal to claim that the 2016 Referendum is “ Nul and Void .”
They will claim a new Referendum. They will use as much mud and twists of the truth to change the 2016 verdict.

Dosen’t all of this make you sick ?

Where is that bucket ?
